Thanks Troy and thanks Michael for your detailed responses! I realize
that the discussion as such is not new and you must have spent a lot of
time already in the past on this.

So far, on my copy of PocketSword I have:

* Switched from downloading indexes to generating them. (The time consumed is
not unreasonable for this, now. Apple doesn't support the old, slow hardware
that made this seem necessary in the first place.)

For what it is worth (probably not much), I have a repeatable conversion script
from Lockman markup (latest edition), and have converted the NASB 1995, the
Amplified Bible, and 2 of their Spanish translations to Sword format and
Browser Bible format. I threw the former away, for lack of permissi
Dear Tobias,
I would encourage you to choose a specific Bible you would like to see
offered. Contact the copyright holder and explain what we do, explain
that we would love for them to sell their own Bible for our software,
that we don't want any royalties for them to do this, and that we will
do

One point that Tobias may have not yet have become aware of is the existence of
the STEP Bible ministry of Tyndale House, Cambridge.
Some modern copyrighted Bibles are already available in SWORD format through
STEP Bible.
It’s just that some of these modules have only been licensed to be distri
I'm not really interested in accessing DBL content from within Sword that
isn't already provided. I don't think there's a lot there beside maybe 10
English works, and a few top European language works that we don't already
have access to.
I AM interested in the locked databases of *Logos* and *Acc

Why do you say "irrelevant", when there are regular requests from people -
both like Tobais as well as people more meekly as

Peter,
If I understand Tobias aright
It wouldn’t be CrossWire selling the copyright modules.
A new ministry would be set up.
All we’d need to do at some stage is to add their repository to our Master
Repos List.
Tobias can readily clarify if I’ve missed the main gist of his proposal.

I would actively oppose this proposal.
Leaving aside a few popular but otherwise irrelevant texts (NIV etc)
there is nothing gained in this proposal. I do not want us to sell
texts and by and large we get the texts we really want or need for
free.
DBL is a matter of concern - agreed. But not th
I first had to learn what the jargon meant - which just about demonstrated that
there are some aspects of this proposal for which I’m not ideally suited.

Hi,
I'm following up on the last thread that I started. Who would be interested in
actively supporting the following idea:
- Develop/set up an online platform that sells non-free Bible translations as
locked Sword modules
- Establish a non-profit that becomes a Library Card Holder @ The Digital
Anyone can take the code and run with it, including rebranding it. That is one of the points of GPL. But surely the best is to do exactly as Nic suggested, get a CrossWire corporate Apple ID, transfer ownership of the project and upgrade from there. That would mean a seamless update path for usersS
Hi.
I think, if you plan on putting this to the Apple Store, then you either need a
new ‚bundle Id‘ which you have control over, or have Nic push it to the store
under the current ‚bundle Id‘.

Thanks Michael,
Surely there’s no need to “rebrand it”?
What prompted this mention?
What did you actually mean by ‘rebrand’?
Was the trial compile done with the latest release of the SWORD API source code?
cf. PS 1.4.8 did not support SWORD 1.8 so modules using one of the 3 new v11ns
